Old-school PlayStation gamers should have fond memories of Guerrilla Games\u2019 Killzone series. What was once Sony PlayStation\u2019s premier first-person shooter franchise that was even dubbed the \u201cHalo Killer\u201d in the now-infamous E3 trailer has since been sidelined in favor of the Horizon franchise.<\/p>\n

Well, it seems Sony has plans to revive the series, as MP1st has learned that a new Killzone project is in the very early stages of production. While we aren\u2019t expecting an official announcement anytime soon, based on what we\u2019ve heard, Killzone is indeed back on Guerrilla\u2019s plate.<\/p>\n

Killzone Is Returning With the Help of an External Studio<\/p>\n

According to people familiar with the situation, Guerrilla Games is working with an external (read: not PlayStation first-party) studio on a Killzone remaster\/remake. So far, it hasn\u2019t been specified which game in the franchise is being updated, but common sense points to the first 2004 entry as the most sensible choice.<\/p>\n

We were told this Killzone project was supposed to be Guerrilla\u2019s next focus after Horizon Hunter\u2019s Gathering, with some of the team allocated to it, but after\u00a0the recent report that the title was rebooted<\/a> due to negative feedback, fixing that game is now the studio\u2019s priority. This would leave part of Guerrilla pivoting back to Killzone once work on Hunter\u2019s Gathering is complete. It\u2019s our understanding that Horizon 3 will come after the next Killzone project, but given how early this project is, don\u2019t rule out plans changing.<\/p>\n

Other whispers suggest the project could take a different direction, as the idea of a full reboot has also popped up. However, the most consistent intel we\u2019ve gathered claims this will be a visual uplift of an older title.<\/p>\n

But which external studio is partnering with Guerrilla? If you\u2019ve been following Sony\u2019s recent collaborations closely, you might already know the answer. In March 2025, PlayStation and developer People Can Fly signed an agreement to co-develop a title codenamed Delta, a project set to be based on an existing PlayStation IP.<\/p>\n

What we\u2019ve heard strongly indicates that PCF will be in charge of this new Killzone, though we couldn\u2019t get definitive confirmation. If true, the title would join the studio\u2019s already extensive list of productions, such as Project Florence, a partnership with 2K based on one of their IPs, and other projects tied to Krafton and Microsoft licenses.<\/p>\n

Bear in mind that things change, but from what we\u2019ve heard from multiple sources, it confirms one thing: a new Killzone project is in the works.<\/p>\n

The last Killzone game released was Killzone: Shadow Fall for the PS4 back in 2013. It did receive generally positive reviews, and even had a thriving multiplayer community, with servers only shutting down in August 2022.<\/p>\n
